That's the kind of argument I've never put much credence in, otherwise I never would have even attempted to solve the problem.

I still think it's possible that there could be a relatively simple solution that has so far eluded humans. They are burdened by many individual, institutional and societal biases and I think they are far less intelligent than they generally believe.

Simple proofs are often only possible, because the language of mathematics become increasingly descriptive over time.

The language conveniently helps us make incredibly complicated statements by using specialized terms. Simple solution are rarely that simple, once we eschew the jargon of the field.

We stand on the shoulders of giants, and all that.
